*Target (protein/gene name): Secreted Phosphatase/mptpA

*NCBI Gene # or RefSeq#: ptpA

*Protein ID (NP or XP #) or Wolbachia#: NP_216750.1

*Organism (including strain): Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (strain: H37Rv)

Etiologic Risk Group (see link below): risk group level 3 (human and animal pathogen) according to American Biological Safety Association (ABSA)

*/Disease Information (sort of like the Intro to your Mini Research Write up):
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a bacterium that causes Tuberculosis (TB), a pulmonary disease that usually attacks the lungs and can be fatal. Mtb is a gram-negative bacterium that has waxy cell walls that unable gram staining. Lipid-phosphatases protein-tyrosine phosphatase A (PtpA) is one of Mtb’s phosphatases that contribute to its pathogenicity by interfering with the signaling transduction pathway of the host. PtpA blocks phagosome-lysosome fusion and inhibits V-ATPase interaction with the mycobacterial phagosome, which turns off important cellular processes and allows it to survive within the host. Some of TB’s symptoms including fever, chills, chest pain, lost of appetite, and long lasting cough. At this point there are two kinds of tests used to detect Mtb bacteria: TB skin test (TST) and TB blood tests. The treatment for TB could involve several drugs for 6-9 months with the diagnostic methods including tuberculin skin test, acid-fast stain, and chest radiographs.

Essentiality of this protein:
Mptpa - virulence factor (so essentiality is not applicable)

Is it a monomer or multimer as biological unit? (make prediction at http://www.ebi.ac.uk/msd-srv/prot_int/pistart.html): monomer

Complex of proteins?: one of three phosphatases (PtpA, PtpB, and SapM) that contribute to Mycobacterium tuberculosis pathogenicity
catalyse the removal of a phosphate group attached to a tyrosine residue
protein tyrosine phosphate + H2O = protein tyrosine + phosphate

Druggable Target (list number or cite evidence from a paper/database showing druggable in another organism):
- in Macaca fascicularis - PTP-1B antagonizes insulin signaling and is a potential therapeutic target for insulin resistance associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes
- in Homo sapiens - the PTPB1 inhibitor JTT-551 improves glucose metabolism by enhancement of insulin signalling and can be useful in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus
- in Mus musculus - inhibition of the regulatory interaction in TCPTP is a desirable strategy for TCPTP activation and attenuation of oncogenic receptor tyrosine kinase signalling
